Hello beautiful people of Leader Amino! Today we’re going to talk about welcoming new to your Amino!

Welcoming new is one of the easiest, most powerful things you can do to retain a new member. It tells them that your community is a welcoming, encouraging, and authentic one. Sounds like a great community huh?

If you don’t know already, here’s how you find your new check out Dan's post: here

Here are a few things you may wanna try during your welcome

:art: Personalize it! :art:

When posting a welcome message on a new ’s wall try to include the ’s profile name or other information that they’ve publicly shared. Showing new s that you’ve taken the time to check out their profile and leave them a personal message forges a connection between you and your community right from the start.

:loudspeaker: Introduce yourself! :loudspeaker:

Let your s know who you are and what your role is in the community. The friendliest and most successful communities have an open stream of communication between s and leaders.

✍🏼Get new s involved!✍🏼

Especially if this is the ’s first time ing an Amino community, you want them to start participating right away. Post an introductory challenge for new and encourage them to . The best new community challenges ask s to share some information about themselves and how they got involved in these interests. It helps s find common ground with each other and start to establish a community identity.

🏅Encourage teams!🏅

As your community grows and teams start to emerge, reward their efforts with special titles. Not every group will be deserving of recognition, but if a team can demonstrate its dedication, reliability, and high-quality work, they can become valuable staples in the structure of your community.

:rainbow: Be yourself! :rainbow:

However you choose to write your welcome message, let your own personality shine through. Your welcome message will be setting the initial tone for the whole community, so it should reflect the kind of atmosphere you want to create. If your community is silly, don’t be afraid to post a silly message.

Good luck Leaders! Feel free to leave some sample welcome messages in the comments for your fellow leaders to review!
